The 1968 Album On Which Johnny Cash Became A Legend: At Folsom Prison Among The Most Important And Potent Statements Of The 20Th Century
Mastered on MoFi’s Mastering System and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity’s SACD Set Plays with Arresting Immediacy, Spaciousness, and Directness
Johnny Cash already knew his way around Folsom Prison when he and his band stepped inside the institution’s forbidding walls on the morning of January 13, 1968 to record At Folsom Prison. He’d played there two years prior. But this time was different.
Johnny Hodges – Blues A Plenty Analogue Productions 200g 45RPM Vinyl
One of the giants of the alto saxophone, Johnny Hodges was perhaps the most important soloist and sideman in Duke Ellington’s orchestra from 1928 up to Hodges’ death in 1970. The self-taught player made many solo forays during his long career – one of his ’50s outfits included a young John Coltrane – but history remembers Hodges for his virtuosic sidemanship, particularly his sensitive rendering of ballads.

For The Roses Captures Joni Mitchell Amid A Beautiful Transition, Plays With You-Are-In-The-Room Sound
Mastering Source to Be Determined Closer to Production Date; Specifics Will Be Posted Here When Authenticated
Joni Mitchell could've been forgiven if she chose to artistically and emotionally retreat on For the Roses, her 1972 follow-up to Blue – and a record made during a period she later called "melancholy exile." The singer-songwriter does nothing of the sort. In a move that foreshadowed what she would continue to do throughout her career, Mitchell dares to imagine – and deliver – novel ways of conveying emotion, color, thought, and wisdom via elegant combinations of music and lyrics.

The 1976 work – deemed the 133rd Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone – also features Mitchell diving into the deep end of the jazz spectrum and partnering on several songs with virtuosic bassist and fellow sonic cosmonaut Jaco Pastorius. Viewed by many fans as the Canadian native's finest hour, Hejira comes across like nine short films that will linger in your mind on Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set.

The Hissing of Summer Lawns is personal protest music and barbed social commentary as only Joni Mitchell can deliver. The follow-up to her most commercially successful album pursues adventurous jazz-dictated directions, abstract impulses, and tough-minded lyrics that stand in contrast to much of her prior work.
